16/28 Carved bear
south-west of
Church of St Andrew

G.V. II*

Upright carved bear, one of a group of 4. Medieval. Red sandstone; about
4 feet high. Probably in its original position at one corner of the medieval
churchyard and thought to represent the second part of a 4-part story: a small
animal, either a cat or a lynx, has jumped on to the bear's back. The bear's
head is turned in an attempt to see its attacker.
